Lucas Duda cracked a homer and had 3 RBI at SAFECO Field as the Tacoma
Rainiers beat the Sparkle City Flyswatters 8 to 6.
 
Tacoma tallied 5 runs in the bottom of the 7th inning when they had 5 base
hits.  The biggest moment was provided by Duda who made the Tacoma fans a
happy lot when he rifled a three-run blast.  Sparkle City threatened in the
9th but Tacoma was able to put down the rally.  
 
Erik Bedard(1-0) was the winner allowing 3 runs in 7 innings. Bedard got
relief help from Kyle Farnsworth who gained credit for his 2nd save.  The
losing pitcher was Jake Westbrook(0-1).  He pitched 6 and 1/3 innings and
surrendered 7 hits and 2 walks.
